Tsre consist editor

[nryans34]

I want to install Tsre consisit editor, so I assume it needs to be installed with open rails,

Hi,
It is not installed! It is run from a batch file in the TSRE5 folder - ConsistEditor.bat - once you have installed TSRE5.

OK That's whats
t I thought. But when I click on folder, I then hit consist editor batch file. The consist editor opens, I then hit browse, the select folder opens, with nothing there. I know trains is suoppeto be there but isn't. I put trains et there and selected a locomotive and click it but did not show up on tsre5 screen?

[slipperman]

The selected folder MUST be an MSTS/ORTS 'root' folder, ie one that contains the TRAINS folder. You must not select the TRAINS folder.
If there's nothing there when ConsistEditor opens, then I, respectfully, suggest that you are not opening the correct folder!

How can you click on a locomotive when there's nothing displayed to be clicked??

Cheers,

I installed tsre folder to my c: drive on my laptop. I bet that's the problem?

Depends on where on the C drive.
C:\TSRE will work, C:\Program files\TSRE may or may not.

No, it shouldn't be, unless you installed TSRE into C;\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) - doing that could cause your problem!

It is best to NOT use either of the Program Files folders (or any other Windows-created folder) on drive C: for any MSTS/ORTS programs due to the permissions applied to them by default.

By the way, "Desktop" is a Windows folder.
Anything put there will be "protected" by Windows. Meaning it's a pain in the butt to write to it.

Tsre doesn't really care where it's installed, and since it's not content the rules about not using a Windows protect folder really don't apply.

You need to click on Browse and tell TSRE where your stuff is.

Iclicked on Browne and I got this that popped up It says choose trains, but when I click choose trains nothing comes up. Also I went to open rails, because train simulator wont load THat hould stop trse5 from working. I took a screenshot of my desktop. Notice the 4 icons for TSRE5.

Open the folder where you installed TSRE. Is there a file named "cerecent.txt"? If there is delete it and restart TSRE-CE. You should see line in middle of Window named "Browse".
Browse to Location(s) of MSTS installs.

Or you can open cerecent.txt and type in path location(s) of your MSTS installs. New line for each location. Then run TSRE-CE.

Rereading your post. Sounds like you did not "Browse". That means use the Windows File explorer that opens when you click Browse and locate your Installs.

[crstagg]

BTW. You need to raise your TSRE window as not all of the app is displayed.
